Isn't their Greatest Hits still available? Pair Records had out
a double length CD which I believe paired their first two albums.
I agree they need a better hits set out, I always like Goodbye
Columbus theme, luckily I have the album.

Anyone notice Frankie Valli in an acting role in the TV mob
flick , Witness To The Mob, that ran a couple of nights ago?
Never knew Frankie was an actor. He even has some lines . Not
bad.

Actually, according to BMI, they claim that The Righteous
Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" -- appropriate for
this group, being a Spector production -- is the #1 song of all
time for radio airplay, as of 1997. Right behind that is The
Beatles' "Yesterday," and "Never My Love" is #3.
I gots no idea how the hits stack up after that, though.

I was listening to a compilation tape tonight and heard "Who Do
You Love" by Reparta and the Delrons. I believe this song is from a
Gamble/Huff single if memory serves. Can't recall that artist name.
Anyone know the record I am talking about?
Regarding Reparta and the Delrons, I only learned of them through
recent reissue. They seemed to have come out of nowhere, but
apparently I just didn't ever hear of them. It seems they were
doing the GG thing a bit too late in 66/67, or do I have my
timeframe mixed up? Who are the arranger/producers? Reparta: She's
still a mystery to me.

Does anyone know if Peter and Gordon LPs have been reissued on CD?>>
Hi Doc,
Indeed they have! Collectables, I believe, has released 3 CDs,
each containing two different Peter and Gordon albums. I'll get
back to the list with further info, unless someone else can shed
more light.

Collectables has just issued three CDs that are two-fers:
I Go To Pieces/True Love Ways
A World Without Love/I Don't Want To See You Again
Woman/Lady Godiva
The track listings are at their web site (look under new releases):
http://www.oldies.com
I notice that tracks from Knight In Rusty Armour and In London
For Tea are used as bonus tracks, so it appears that those lps
and the Nashville one won't be getting the reissue treatment. I
haven't seen or heard the CDs myself.
Later
Dave

Hi Doc!
It's your lucky day! Collectables Records has just released three
Peter & Gordon two-fers:
WORLD WITHOUT LOVE/I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN
I GO TO PIECES/TRUE LOVE WAYS
WOMAN/LADY GODIVA
They're selling in my local Tower Records for $18, but you can order
them all from CDNow (www.cdnow.com) for $12.99 each

Here Here! on everything you say (except for the reference to the
Left Banke, whose Pretty Ballerina album is brilliant an singular
(and they almost have enough good stuff to fill their 2-CD compilaton
properly).
But Spanky, Association, and Fifth are woefully neglected. What they
have in common, is wonderful musicianship and melodiousness and
luscious vocals. They also all had the chops to perform their
toughest material live.
I'm particularly partial to the first two albums by the Fifth. I
think Magic Garden is better, but Jimmy Webb's "Rosecrans Blvd." on
the first is an all-time fave paranoid song.
I once saw one of the weirder triple bills ever at the Forum in L.A.:
Spanky, Vanilla Fudge, and Bee Gees. It took all my composure to
sit through VF while waiting for the BG's (although their rendition
of "Moonlight Sonata" was a camp classic), but by that time Spanky &
Our Gang had stolen the show from both acts -- and this was an
audience that was there, largely, to see VF.
I still can't hear "Give a Damn" without getting chills, not because
of its message, but because of its beauty.
